Kate Nickerson’s Summary

I am pursuing a B.S. degree in Graphic Communication at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I plan to graduate June 2010.

I believe that my careful eye, aesthetic ability, and diligent attitude have helped me thrive as a student and as a designer. Upon graduating, I plan on working full-time in the graphic design field, and I am especially interested in print design and web design positions, although my education provides for a broad spectrum of creative capabilities.
